No 1 RANT at the moment is to that splendid qashqai (however its misspelt) driver parked next to us in the supermarket car park today, who just couldn't be ar$$ed to watch how they opened their rear door.... Thankyou so much for the dent in the middle of our rear door GRRRRRRRR :angry: :angry: :angry: :cry: :angry: :angry: :cry: :sick:
No 2, to those people who also can't be ar$$ed to indicate whenever they turn, especially at roundabouts AARRRRRGGGGH!!!
No 3, Middle/Outside lane HOGS..... Can't you see that you're blocking the entire dual carriageway/motorway??!! They're not DRIVING LANES, they're **OVERTAKING LANES** Jesus....
No 4, Mobile phones..... Oh wow, how many times do I see an erratically driven car in front only to find the driver holding their phone to their ear..... Last Thursday a t*at in one of those monster truckmobiles in the middle lane of the A2,(that was bad enough!) phone held between left shoulder and ear, a frikkin **NOTEPAD** on the steering wheel and pencil in his right hand, obviously taking an order for something.... Perhaps it was for his box to be buried in eh?
No 5, Not using the handbrake when in stationary traffic - especially on an upward incline - then realizing they have limited clutch control and roll back a foot or two when pulling away, why why why?
PANT PANT PANT....... pant... pant.. pant.. and.... breeeeeathe...........
Whew, Sorry, is it just me?
Over to you......................

As well as shining their brake lights in the face of the driver behind.

At 44 I have officially reached grumpy old man status so therefore agree with all of the above. How about all the tos**** who drive everywhere with fog lights on? All tos**** who can't park within two parallel white lines!!!??? All A4 drivers who drive 2mm from my back bumper despite the fact I could murder their car if I could be ar*ed.
And off motoring I also hate anything to do with celebrities, all talent shows ("you'll do well in this compettion" - grrrrr), teenagers whose trousers are round their knees. I could go on......
Sorry - once you get me started.......

I get overly annoyed at the same items you describe, but there is absolutely fek'all you can do about other folks and it only plays havoc with blood pressure as you get older.
I tend to rant and rave so much the laddie has to tell me to calm down :rolleyes:
Mobiles, lane hogs, folks who forget that the right pedal makes them speed up from a 30 to National speed limits and inconsiderate carparkers, who are usually so fat and podgy that they have to roll like a weeble to get enough momentum to get out the car which causes the lack of control of the door angle. Last ding I got was from a bint who scuffed my discovery door, so immediately returned the favour as I got out. She wanted paying as her's was an accident but mine was deliberate. Jog on wench and get back to the sink.

Sounds like you've had one of those days fella, it's bad on UK roads :sick:
At least you weren't stuck behind me doing fuel economy testing on the m62 / M6 doing 58 MPH :grin:

Don't forget the muppets who drive around with only their sidelights and front fogs on! :angry:

And cars fitted with HIDs and reflector headlamps..... :sick:

I'll tell you what makes me mad - it's the moderators who move threads like this into the chat section!! :evil:

Which is virtually all taxi's in leeds :angry:
My biggest gripe is with taxi's!! why the fcuk do they all stop 3 meters over the line at a junction/pedestrian crossing??? Do they really think it carries any benifit to their journey :huh:
... in addition to which they drive like 60yr olds during the day and like speedy gonzalez on whizz once the sun goes down

HIDs in their reflector headlights. They're trying to chase with the light scatter.

Nobody has mentioned cyclists - I personally think it should be made a legal driving test requirement to knock at least one useless cyclist off his bike every week :evil:
Cyclists dawdling side by side having a conversation when the road is too narrow to overtake them.
Cyclists who ride at night in stealth clothing with no lights or reflectors
Cyclists who ride uphill (there are many hills near me) and wander all over the road at 5 mph.
Cyclists who clearly cannot get inside you when you are stood, so either scrape the side of the car (not mine I hasten to add otherwise they would be laying in a pool of their own bodily fluids) or jump onto the pavement and harass pedestrians.
Cyclists who think pedestrian crossings are for them to stop traffic and cycle across
Cyclists who run red lights because they don't think it pertains to them (even our PM Cameron has done this!)
Just writing this winds me up!! :laugh:

Especially in the morning when you are running late going to work.

I only ride once a week... early on a sunday morning. Mainly off road... but when I am on a road I do all of the above :lipsrsealed: :grin:
its what makes it fun :evil: :evil:
-
nearly took a bike out when pulling out from a side road on Monday night, no front light just a flashing rear LED, to the rider of that bike your a T**T!
Now I ride bikes for fun so believe I have a balanced view, bikes existed before cars so you can't ban them, making them pay VED is just silly as per that comparison website suggestion. Especially when they don't have any carbon output. All it would take is coppers to nick a few / give points / fines to riders in the dark whom don't have lights (and correctly used, static on the bike and flashing on clothing), also not allowing a correct overtaking maneuver by a motorist by wiggling or hanging 5 well outside the line just to the side of drains.
And for this I think motorists should give them some bloody room between the front of their cars and the back tyre, winds me up something chronic when i'm on my steed and you have a chubby mummy mobile 2" from your arse, then when they overtake they have a baby on board sticker, gotta love it! If I brake your driving over me madam! I'll give you a baby on board !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And relax!!!!!

Your Polo GTI looks well nice, apart from Revo Stage 2 what else have you done to it?

and the c#ntish Cyclists who ride on the road, when they have a perfectly good cycle path just next to them! For the love of god and all things pretty and lovely, and kittens, WHY do they do that?!

What about busses then? No ones mentioned busses!
This is going well init :laugh:
And STILL in the Mk VI section :cool:

1. Answering my phone when cycling would be dangerous so I prefer to bring my social life with me when I cycle. But since it obviously annoys you I have retro-fitted bluetooth to my handlebars.
2. Bi-xenons were not an option when I bought my bicycle and I cannot be bothered to retrofit them.
3. The wandering is due to the adaptive- but not always competent - chassis control (in other words me losing my balance).
4. As a cyclist I do not try to get inside anyone. :lipsrsealed:
5. I only cross at pedestrian crossing so that other road users can admire my beautiful diamond cut rims with my super quiet mountain biking tyres.
6. Not all red lights are the same shade of red. I therefore do not stop at them all equally.
And for the record, I have a fully loaded bicycle with factory fitted "trigger" shift gearbox, a fully open sunroof, 19 inch alloys, mudflaps and stop-start technology.
:laugh:
PS: And I have no desire to be in any "inner circle" either. A spare inner tube is all I need. :grin:

It is all in my build thread below :cool:
236bhp and 268lbft as of today and weighs in at 1143kg (full interior) with half a tank of fuel. So over 200bhp/ton already and much more yet to do. 48mpg on a run too! :smug:

It seems that not all red Golfs are the same shade of red either.

...traffic wardens full stop.
...smokers
...Gordon Brown who ruined this country, bankrupted it, stole most of my pension and who thought I should work every hour god sends only to pay most of my income in tax.
...councils who wage war on motorists.
...and as a cyclist and a petrol-head (you can enjoy both) I hate motorists who think cycle lanes are infact free parking spaces, motorists who cut you up in traffic by not checking mirrors, fat stupid ignorant motorists who have a resting heart rate of 120bpm as they havnt done excercise in 20 years and cyclist who jump red lights - dont come crying to me when the artic-lorry squashes you!
apart from this I love everyone. Peace.

I don't belive you....you protest too much :laugh:
Which brings me nicely to my next rant.....protestors.....blocking roads off and banging on cars doesn't make me "feel" for them, apart from wanting to feel their necks squeezed between my fat, pudgy fingers. :evil:

Ha ha, surely with the newly increased volume of air your car can consume it would be perfectly able to suck them up and pop them out :smiley:

Time for my own rant.
People who park daftly!
I'm talking about the nose-to-tail spaces at the side of the road. I seem to always find the space where the person behind me has parked while both "my" space and "their" space was empty. With this freedom they roll their car forward so that the wheels are just touching the white lines which define the space. The result is that their bumper usually intrudes into my space.
It's not so much a problem getting into said spaces, it's more the worry of them trying to get back out without hitting mine.
